3.0 PRODUCTION INFORMATIONGramoxone SL 3.0 is a contact Group 22 herbicide used to control or suppress a broad spectrum of emerged weeds. It controls most small annual weeds – both broadleaves and grasses, and suppresses perennial weeds by destroying green foliage. For most effective control, apply to weeds less than six inches tall. Gramoxone SL 3.0 can also be used as a desiccant/defoliant at harvest. It will cause damage to nontarget crops and plants if off-target movement occurs.

Gramoxone SL 3.0 is rapidly absorbed by green plant tissue and interacts with the photosynthetic process to produce superoxides which destroy the plant cells. Gramoxone SL 3.0 requires actively growing green plant tissue to function. Thorough coverage of all green foliage is essential for effective weed control and for effective crop desiccation/defoliation. Gramoxone SL 3.0 is not as effective on drought-stressed weeds, weeds with little green foliage (i.e., mowed or cut weeds), or mature woody bark of trees and vines.

Because Gramoxone SL 3.0 is rapidly absorbed by the weed foliage, typically rain occurring 15-30 minutes or more after application will have no effect on the activity of Gramoxone SL 3.0.

Gramoxone SL 3.0 is active over a wide range of environmental conditions. Cool weather (below 55°F) will slow the activity of Gramoxone SL 3.0, as will cloudy, overcast weather, but will not affect performance.

Clay and organic matter rapidly tie up Gramoxone SL 3.0. As a result, Gramoxone SL 3.0 has no residual soil activity to affect later-planted crops or later germinating weeds.

Gramoxone SL 3.0 is formulated as a liquid which contains 3.0 pounds of active ingredient per gallon. The formulation contains a nontoxic odor and an emetic (an agent which will induce vomiting if the product is swallowed). The odor is included in the formulation to help prevent accidental ingestion of Gramoxone SL 3.0.

3.1 Resistance Management


Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to paraquat dichloride may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The repeated use of herbicides with the same mode of action is known to lead under certain conditions to a selection of resistant weeds.

The active ingredient in Gramoxone SL 3.0 is paraquat dichloride, a mechanism of action Group 22 herbicide, which inhibits Photosystem I (PSI).

Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to paraquat dichloride and other Group 22 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same fi eld.

Within the USA specifi c biotypes of a number of species, including horseweed/marestail (Conyza canadensis), hairy fl eabane (Conyza bonariensis), Italian ryegrass (Lolium perenne ssp. multiforum), goosegrass (Eleusine indica), dotted duckweed (Landoltia punctate), and American black nightshade (Solanum americanum) have become resistant to paraquat.

3.1.1 PRINCIPLES OF HERBICIDE RESISTANT WEED MANAGEMENTScout and know your fi eld• Know weed species present in the fi eld to be treated through scouting and fi eld history. An understanding of weed biology is useful in designing a resistance management

strategy. Ensure the weed management program will control all weeds present.• Fields should be scouted prior to application to determine species present and growth stage. Always apply this herbicide at the full labeled rate and correct timing for the

weeds present in the fi eld.

Utilize non-herbicidal practices to add diversity• Use diversifi ed management tactics such as cover crops, mechanical weed control, harvest weed seed control, and crop rotation as appropriate.

Use good agronomic practices, start clean and stay clean• Use good agronomic practices that enhance crop competitiveness.• Plant into weed-free fi elds utilizing tillage or an effective burndown herbicide for control of emerged weeds.• Sanitize farm equipment to avoid spreading seed or vegetative propagules prior to leaving fi elds.

Diffi cult to control weeds• Fields with diffi cult to control weeds should be planted in rotation with crops that allow the use of herbicides with an alternative mode of action or different management practices.• Diffi cult to control weeds may require sequential applications, such as a broad spectrum preemergence herbicide followed by one or more postemergence herbicide applications.

Utilize herbicides containing different modes of action effective on the target weeds in sequential applications.

Do not overuse the technology• Do not use more than two applications of this or any other herbicide with the same mode of action in a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different

mode of action which provides overlapping spectrum for the diffi cult to control weeds.

Scout and inspect fi elds following application• Prevent an infl ux of weeds into the fi eld by controlling weeds in fi eld borders.• Scout fi elds after application to verify that the treatment was effective.• Suspected- herbicide resistant weeds may be identifi ed by these indicators o Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; o A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and o Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.

• Report non-performance of this product to your Syngenta retailer, Syngenta representative, or call 1-866-Syngent(a) (866-796-4368). If resistance is suspected ensure weed escapes are controlled using an herbicide with an effective mode of action and/or use non-chemical means to prevent further seed production.

Prevent weed escapes before, during, and after harvest• Do not allow weed escapes to produce seed or vegetative structures such as tubers or stolons which contribute to spread and survival. Consider harvest weed seed manage-

ment and control weeds post-harvest to prevent seed production.

Resistant Weeds• Contact your local Syngenta representative, retailer, crop advisor or extension agent to determine if weeds resistant to this mode of action are present in your area. If resistant

biotypes have been reported, use the full labeled rate of this product, apply at the labeled timing, and tank-mix with a different mode of action product so there are multiple effective modes of application for each suspected resistant weed.

4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS

4.1 Methods of Application• Applications with Gramoxone SL 3.0 alone or in tank mixtures are permitted by ground and by air.• This product may only be applied with a backpack sprayer if the backpack equipment allows the product to be transferred into the sprayer from the original product container

using a closed system as specifi ed in the Use Restrictions Section (Section 6.1) of this label and the application rate does not exceed 0.5 lb ai/A (1.3 pts of this product) in 30 gallons of spray solution per acre.

• Preplant, preemergence, postemergence, and burndown applications are allowed as specifi ed in Sections 8.0, 9.0, and 13.0 unless otherwise restricted in Section 6.0.

4.2 Application Equipment• Confi gure spray equipment to provide accurate and uniform coverage of the target area and minimize potential for spray drift.• To ensure accuracy, calibrate sprayer before each use. For information on spray equipment and calibration, consult spray equipment manufacturers and/or state recommendations.• Use sprayers that provide accurate and uniform application with nozzles designed to minimize drift and provide uniform coverage.• Avoid using screens and strainers fi ner than 50 mesh.• All equipment must be properly maintained.• Gramoxone SL 3.0 is corrosive to aluminum. Aluminum and all other spray equipment must be washed to remove product residues after use.• Prolonged exposure of this product to uncoated steel surfaces may result in corrosion and possible failure of the part.

For aerial application equipment:• Gramoxone SL 3.0 is corrosive to aluminum. Aluminum aircraft structures that are exposed to spray solution or spray drift should be fl ushed thoroughly with water immediately after use.• The maintenance of an organic coating (paint) which meets aerospace specifi cation MIL-C-38413 may prevent corrosion.• To prevent corrosion of exposed parts, thoroughly wash aircraft after each day of spraying to remove residues of this product accumulated during spraying or from spills.• Landing gear are most susceptible.

4.2.1 NOZZLESGramoxone SL 3.0 is a contact herbicide and thorough coverage of foliage is essential to maximize control of weeds and for effective crop desiccation/defoliation. Spray nozzles that will produce medium to coarse droplets are recommended. With certain tank-mix partners or in specifi c situations it may be necessary to use nozzles that produce larger droplets. If nozzles that produce droplets larger than coarse are used carrier volume should be a minimum of 20 gallons per acre.

4.3 Application Volume and Spray Coverage• Since Gramoxone SL 3.0 is a contact-type herbicide, it is essential to obtain complete coverage for control of target weeds and thorough desiccation/defoliation of crops. • Improper application technique will usually result in unacceptable weed control and unacceptable crop desiccation/defoliation.• For ground application apply in a minimum of 10 gal/A of spray mixture. Increasing the carrier volume will likely result in improved control. For aerial application apply in a

minimum of 5 gal/A of spray mixture.• When spot spraying, spray to thoroughly wet the foliage, but not to the point of runoff.

4.4 Mixing Directions1. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. Dispose of the cleaning solution in a responsible manner.2. Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation.3. Keep product container tightly closed when not in use.4. Agitate the spray solution before and during application.5. Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank.6. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously treated area.

Always use clean water (free of mud or clay), clear liquid nitrogen, or complete clear liquid fertilizers as the carrier when spraying Gramoxone SL 3.0. Muddy water, or suspension-type fertilizers containing clay, can inactivate Gramoxone SL 3.0. Never use suspension-type fertilizers containing clay as the spray carrier. If using a complete clear liquid fertilizer containing high phosphate levels as the spray carrier, always use the higher rate of Gramoxone SL 3.0 and surfactant.

Note: When using liquid fertilizers such as 28% N as a spray carrier, non-ionic surfactant should be added to the spray mixture. Liquid fertilizer carriers cannot substitute for surfactant.

4.4.1 GRAMOXONE SL 3.0 ALONE

1. Fill the spray tank 1/2 full with clean water or other approved carrier.2. Add a nonionic surfactant to the tank.3. Begin tank agitation and continue throughout mixing and spraying.4. Add Gramoxone SL 3.0 to the tank.5. Add crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil to tank where needed.6. Fill remainder of spray tank.

SPOT SPRAYINGWhen only small areas are to be sprayed with labeled applications, it is advantageous to mix small quantities of Gramoxone SL 3.0. To aid in mixing small quantities, use the following table.

If The Broadcast Rate Per Acre for Gramoxone SL 3.0 is: Add The Following Amount of Gramoxone SL 3.0 To 1 Gallon of Water

1 1/2 pt2 pt

2 1/2 pt3 pt

1/3 fl oz3/8 fl oz1/2 fl oz2/3 fl oz

Always add 1/3-1/2 fl oz of a nonionic surfactant for each gallon of spray.

4.4.2 TANK-MIX PRECAUTIONS

• It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions, limitations, and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

• Tank mix compatibility testing (a.k.a, jar testing) is prohibited.• Consult http://www.syngenta-us.com/herbicides/gramoxone-sl-3.0 for a list of products that have been evaluated for tank-mix compatibility with this product.• If additional information needed, contact local Syngenta representative for more information regarding tank.• Tank mixes with other pesticides, fertilizers, or any other additives with Gramoxone SL 3.0 may result in tank mix incompatibility or unsatisfactory performance.

4.4.3 GRAMOXONE SL 3.0 IN TANK MIXTURES

1. Fill spray tank 1/2 full with clean water or other approved carriers such as clear liquid fertilizer.2. Add nonionic surfactant to tank3. Begin tank agitation and continue throughout mixing and spraying.4. Add dry formulations (WP, DF, etc.) to tank.5. Add liquid formulations (SC, EC, L, etc.) to tank.6. Add Gramoxone SL 3.0 to tank.7. Add crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil to tank where needed.8. Fill remainder of spray tank.

4.4.4 SPRAY ADDITIVES

Always add one of the following (failure to use one of the following at recommended rates will result in reduced performance of Gramoxone SL 3.0).

• Nonionic Surfactant: For ground and aerial application, add nonionic surfactant containing 80% or more surface-active agent at a minimum of 0.25% v/v (2 pt/100 gal) of the fi nished spray volume. Non-ionic surfactant is the preferred adjuvant when tank-mixed with other herbicides.

• Crop Oil Concentrate or Methylated Seed Oil: Add a nonphytotoxic crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil containing 15-20% approved emulsifi er, at 1.0% v/v (1 gal/100 gal) of the fi nished spray volume for ground applications. For aerial applications, add 1 pint of crop oil concentrate per acre. Do not use crop oil concentrate when using Gramoxone SL 3.0 for cotton harvest aid.

Use an adjuvant that meets the requirements of the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) adjuvant certifi cation program.

4.5 Sprayer CleanoutTo avoid subsequent injury to other crops, thoroughly clean mixing and application equipment immediately after spraying. The following instructions are provided:

1. Do not clean sprayer near desirable vegetation, wells or other water sources.2. Drain and fl ush tank walls, boom and all hoses with clean water.3. Prepare a solution of water/strong detergent or a commercial sprayer cleaner or ammonia.4. Be sure to wash all internal parts of the tank, including the inside top surface with the cleaning solution. Start agitation in the sprayer and thoroughly recirculate the cleaning

solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible deposits must be removed from the spraying system.5. Flush hoses, spray lines and nozzles for at least one minute with the cleaning solution.6. Repeat steps 3-5 for two additional times.7. Remove nozzles, screens and strainers, and clean separately in the cleaning solution after completing the above procedures.8. Drain lines, fi lters and sump.9. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.10. Dispose of all rinsate according to local, state and federal regulation.

5.0 ROTATIONAL CROPAll rotational crops may be planted immediately after the last application of Gramoxone SL 3.0.

6.0 RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS6.1 Use Restrictions• For containers less than 120 gallons, this product must only be removed from the original container with a closed transfer system. Any subsequent transfer of this

product must utilize a closed transfer system. Any attempt to circumvent the closed transfer system prior to complete removal of the product and rinsing of the product container as described in the Storage and Disposal Section of this label is prohibited.

• NEVER PUT INTO FOOD, DRINK OR OTHER CONTAINERS.• DO NOT USE OR STORE IN OR AROUND THE HOME.• DO NOT REMOVE CONTENTS EXCEPT FOR IMMEDIATE USE.• DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system.• DO NOT use this product in residential or public recreational settings (e.g. home, home gardens, schools, recreational parks, golf courses, and/or playgrounds.• DO NOT apply under conditions involving possible drift to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or the crops thereof rendered unfi t for sale, use, or consumption.• DO NOT apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas.• For broadcast applications of this product using backpack sprayers, the application rate must not exceed 0.50 lb ai/A (1.3 pts of this product) in a minimum of 30 gallons

of spray solution per acre.

6.2 Use Precautions• In dry areas, dust stirred up by high winds or equipment can coat weed or plant leaves and reduce Gramoxone SL 3.0 activity. Avoid applying Gramoxone SL 3.0 in extremely

dusty conditions.• In preplant and preemergence (to the crop) uses, do not apply to soils lacking clay minerals, e.g., peat, muck, pure sand, artifi cial planting media.• To reduce germination of new weeds, seeding or transplanting should be done with a minimum amount of soil disturbance.• Gramoxone SL 3.0 used for preplant weed control over the top of plastic mulch may damage transplants which come in contact with the plastic. Suffi cient rainfall or sprinkler

irrigation to cause wash-off prior to planting may be needed to prevent damage to the crop.• Weeds emerging after application of Gramoxone SL 3.0 will not be controlled or suppressed.• Unless otherwise indicated, crop plants emerged at time of application may be severely injured or killed if contacted by sprays of Gramoxone SL 3.0.

6.3 Spray Drift Management• AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.• The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift.• The applicator and grower must consider the interaction of equipment and weather-related factors to ensure that the potential for drift to sensitive non-target plants is minimal.• This pesticide may only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, non-target plants) is minimal (i.e., when

the wind is blowing away from the sensitive area).• Consult with local and State agricultural authorities for information regarding avoiding or minimizing spray drift.

6.3.1 AERIAL APPLICATIONS• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).• The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter for helicopters.• Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the fi eld.• Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.• Do not apply during temperature inversions.

6.3.2 BOOM-LESS GROUND APPLICATION• Applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1) for applications.• Do not apply during temperature inversions.

6.3.3 GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy unless making a pasture, or rangeland application,

in which case applicators may apply with a nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground.

• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).• Do not apply during temperature inversions.

6.3.4 Handheld Technology Applications• Take precautions to minimize spray drift.

6.4 Drift Reduction Advisory Information6.4.1 IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE• An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. • Use the largest droplets that provide target weed control. • While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.

6.4.2 CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE - AIRCRAFT• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fi ne droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the

airfl ow in fl ight.

6.4.3 CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE – GROUND BOOM• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray

volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher fl ow rate.• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size.• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.

6.4.4 BOOM HEIGHT – GROUND BOOM• Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. • For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.

6.4.5 RELEASE HEIGHT - AIRCRAFT• Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.• When applying aerially to crops, do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.

6.4.6 SHIELDED SPRAYERS

• Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift.• Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.

6.4.7 TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY• When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.

6.4.8 TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS• Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion.• Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind.• The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator.• Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates

indicates good vertical air mixing.• Avoid applications during temperature inversions.

6.4.9 WIND• Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.• Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.

6.4.10 WINDBLOWN SOIL PARTICLES• Gramoxone SL 3.0 has the potential to move off-site due to wind erosion.• Soils that are subject to wind erosion usually have a high silt and/or fi ne to very fi ne sand fractions and low organic matter content.• Other factors which can affect the movement of windblown soil include the intensity and direction of prevailing winds, vegetative cover, site slope, rainfall, and drainage patterns. • Avoid applying Gramoxone SL 3.0 if prevailing local conditions may be expected to result in off-site movement.

6.4.11 SENSITIVE AREAS• The pesticide must only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered

species, non-target crops) is minimal (i.e., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).

7.0 WEEDS CONTROLLED OR PARTIALLY CONTROLLED BY GRAMOXONE SL 3.0Gramoxone SL 3.0 should be applied to emerged weeds when they are small. Weeds 1-6 inches in height are the easiest to control. Larger weeds may be more diffi cult to control. When weeds have been grazed or mowed, thus removing much of the green foliage, allow the weeds to regrow to a height of 2-4 inches before spraying if possible. Similarly, when forage or grain crops have been harvested prior to spraying, weeds present in the fi eld will also have been cut. To allow for adequate green foliage to remain on weeds in this situation, raise cutter bars as high as possible from the ground to cut stubble and weeds at a greater height.

Diffi cult weeds can often be controlled by tank mixing Gramoxone SL 3.0 with other herbicides. The addition of herbicides which are photosynthetic inhibitors herbicide (Groups 5, 7) will slow the activity of Gramoxone SL 3.0, allowing Gramoxone SL 3.0 to thoroughly distribute itself within the treated leaf. The resulting level of control is usually greater than if Gramoxone SL 3.0 was applied alone.

When perennial broadleaf weeds such as Canada thistle, bindweed, dandelion, etc. or diffi cult to control annual broadleaf weeds such as giant ragweed or morningglory are present, tank mixes with 2,4-D ester (Low Volatile), 2,4-DB, dicamba, Boundary®, Acuron®, Acuron® Flexi, Lexar® EZ, Lumax® EZ where labeled, will help improve control. Tank mixing the amine formulation of 2,4-D with Gramoxone SL 3.0 may result in reduced grass control.
